Norman Powell leads Clippers to win in return from injury, says LA ... (ESPN)

Norman Powell came off the bench and scored a game-high 24 points in the Clippers' win against the West-best Suns on Wednesday night, saying afterward that ...

Seeing him being able to work out, put some shots up, things like that, I think his rehab is trending in the right direction. But Powell is getting some 2018-19 Toronto Raptors vibes from this Clippers team with the veteran defensive versatility and offensive firepower on the roster. With this being their first game together, George and Powell combined for 43 points, including going 18-for-21 together from the free throw line. "I think we can be really dangerous," Powell told ESPN after the Clippers' third straight win. And Powell was back playing in just his fourth game as a Clipper after being acquired from the Portland Trail Blazers before the trade deadline. I definitely think teams are definitely going to have to worry about us, just how deep our team is."

Norman Powell's return has Clippers feeling deep, dangerous (OCRegister)

LOS ANGELES – As for early impressions, Norman Powell – a Clipper for two months and four games – has these takeaways: “One thing that they always told me ...

“We have a pretty veteran team and we know how to play,” the 28-year-old guard said. That he’d suffered a lower-body injury made staying in game shape tough, too, he said, though he gave the Clippers’ medical staff kudos for the ways they tried to replicate his in-game conditioning. “But we’re just trying to find different ways to improve the one-foot shots. It kind of reminds me of the Raptors team in 2019 … so I’m excited.” Something to really build off of and very encouraging seeing how we play. “I tell you, we’re gonna be dangerous come play-in and playoffs.

Clippers news: Norman Powell reacts to first game with Paul George (ClutchPoints)

LOS ANGELES -- Norman Powell made his return to the LA Clippers lineup on Wednesday night, just a week after Paul George made his...

I’m fine playing off the ball, so in those moments Norm to kind of get adjusted, get acclimated, and he’s a big-time playmaker and a scorer off the ball in the pick-and-roll and in isolation. “I thought we just tried to play off one another,” Paul George explained. I had a great time out there with the guys, so just looking to build.” He was a guy that I looked up to growing up. He suffered the injury just three games into his tenure with the Clippers, and it ate at him not being able to play. Just like Paul George did, Powell lit up the scoreboard and led his Clippers to a victory.

Norman Powell and Paul George could make Clippers 'dangerous' (Los Angeles Times)

With Paul George and Norman Powell back from injury and the return of Kawhi Leonard remains possible, the Clippers could make noise in the postseason.

George and Leonard advised the guard who admittedly hates missing games and initially bristled at Wednesday’s capped number of minutes to not rush back too early, Powell said. Lue wants to play those two in lineups without a center but stocked with long-armed forwards and wings who can shoot and defend all over. “To plug in me and PG and get us back to speed and healthy, I think it is going to be really easy [to prepare for the play-in]. We got a lot of firepower. But on a roster loaded with wings, his skill set is no redundancy and is why the Clippers coveted him ahead of the trade deadline. “Norm always can get to the free-throw line.” I have different things that I go over in my head, but really I just silence everything and just focus on my breath and come out of there as cool, calm and collected, even-keeled.”

It was a special moment for both players, and one that showed the Clippers are barely scratching the surface of the ceiling. Last night was the very first time that Paul George and Norman Powell played a game together. It's very easy to compare the Clippers to the 2019 Raptors, it almost seems like it's being done deliberately so.
